How to Train Your Dragon – Japanese Poster

I love the poster they put out in Japan. There is something almost Miyazaki about it <3

Weekend Weekend

This was a fine fine weekend indeed! Because Josh and I may be starting to work Saturdays in the next week or so, we figured we should go out and take advantage of this weekend. Plus the fact that it was gorgeous outside. We jumped in the car and drove up to the city. In the midst of our excursion we came across Telegraph Hill and rode the elevator to the top of Coit Tower. It was fun but not something that I ever need to do again. The tower shook a lot because of the old elevator and it made me really nervous. I was done in 5 minutes. no joke. So after a quick drink at Visuvio (One of my fav bars) we went boutique hopping in North Beach and Hayes Valley. Here are some of the awesome finds ...

Love 'dem keds! breaking them in today. a little blistery, but we'll get there.
Eco-friendly mounted deer :) we hung it above the tv. oh the amazing-ness of cardboard :P

One Week is Never Enough

So, I've been pretty busy these past two weeks getting back into the swing of things. Catching up on work and missed tv episodes :) Finally have some time to tell you about my vacation! Basically, I was the best place I've ever been and I had an AMAZING time. We stayed at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel on Maui's west coast. I was not a super swanky place but it had this old school Hawaiian vibe to it that i absolutely adored. I mean if you're in Hawaii, you want to feel like you are! The island is beautiful, even when it's raining and because of the on again off again showers, I counted 7 rainbows during our stay! The community there is something I've never experienced. They have like this island comradery and a laid back-ness that is contagious. We talked to a lot of people who were just nomads. They hop from island to island working side jobs and chillin on the beaches. Tough life. Mind if you join you? :D

Highlights:
Every kind of tropical drink you could imagine, 24/7
Tsunami Saturday - 10 hrs on a hill, waiting for a wave that never came
Driving to the top of the volcano in the freezing bitter cold
Old Lahaina Luau
Snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean with a pink floaty noodle
Driving through a lava field
Driving Kahekili Highway and not dying, but OMG i thought we were going to.
Watching the wake boarders at Kaanapali Beach
Eating some of the best food I've had in ages. Especially the Kahlua pork...mmmmmmmmm
Discovering the most romantic little beaches with my hunny :)
Summary: One week is never enough.

This is the Old Lahaina Luau that J took me for my birthday :) xoxo
Thank you Maui! We shall return!!

How To Train Your Dragon

Newest film comes out next Friday, March 26th! I'm super excited to see it all put together and am very proud of it already. I had the amazing opportunity to work with Roger Deakins as lighting consultant. His feedback was amazing and completely inspiring. I really think he took this movie to a new level. Everyone go check it out! Here's the latest trailer.. there are quite a few of my shots in there! including the one you're looking at right now :D

Sweet and Sexy

Oh that dress so scandalous.... Thong Song.

Aloha from Maui !!
